Dextrin Palmitate

A naturally derived moisturiser made by combining sugars and fatty acids, it transforms your cosmetics into a luxurious oil-based cream with a delicate texture. This ingredient is produced by gently modifying plant sugars, specifically dextrin, which is combined with palmitic acid during manufacturing to give it unique skincare properties.

Its action focuses on deep hydration and restoring the skin’s protective barrier, while also stabilising emulsions to improve their moisturising and smoothing effects. In oil-based formulations, it creates a delicate yet firm gel structure that allows colour pigments to disperse evenly and prevents them from drying out, providing long-lasting hydration with a less greasy finish.

We recommend this ingredient especially for dry, dehydrated and mature skin that needs intensive regeneration and extra protection against moisture loss. It is also an ideal choice for sensitive skin that reacts to synthetic substances, as it contains no preservatives or antioxidants. It is also suitable for those with oily skin who want to replace a greasy feel with a firm yet lightweight texture in facial serums and oil-based creams.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology confirmed that dextrin esters at a concentration of 2 % in oil-based formulations increased skin hydration by 28 % after 4 weeks of regular use, without leaving a greasy film on the surface. This ingredient therefore acts not only as a functional stabiliser but also as an active moisturising agent that strengthens the skin’s natural resilience.
